What a picture!

Rachael tagged me and this is a tag I could actually handle. You choose the 4th picture in your 4th folder and write a brief description of it. This is a bizaare picture, but my sister Lisa gave me back a few of my maternity clothes that she thought might sell on e-bay. So, here's the picture I used. I made about $20 on the stuff I sold, so it was worth it. I tag Heather, Layne, Amber, Dale and Erin.

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Our house was full of a bunch of crazy 8 and 9 year old spies Friday night! We had a mission impossible party, which turned out to be a great success. The invitations said each secret agent had to dial a secret number (our phone number) and if they chose to accept the mission, to leave the code "Giddy-up cowboy" along with their agent name. We got such a kick out of listening to our messages all week as each boy called to RSVP.

Our amazing and extremely talented friend Amy created another masterpiece cake for the party. Thank you, Amy!

One of our missions involved extracting agent "Chocolate bar" from it's currently assigned location. The boys rolled dice and whoever got a six, had to put on the spy gear and eat the chocolate as fast as they could with a fork before the next boy rolled a six. A messy, wild and fun game. Our other missions included gathering various items from the neighborhood and returning them in the secret envelope for authentication- (aka scavenger hunt) and a mission to find the missing treasure (goodie bags) with clues they had to figure out around the house.

The birthday boy.

My Con-Man

Kennady came home today with a little bag of candy from school. Spencer sat by her in the car on the way home and was trying to get her to share with him. Of course, that wasn't going too well for him. When they got home, they both disappeared. After a little while, I started looking for them and bugging them to get started on their jobs. I discovered them in Kennady's room where Spencer was munching on some candy, and had 2 pieces in his hand. I asked him where he got the candy, and he said, "Kennady gave it to me." I asked him what he'd done to get her to give it to him and he told me, "I told her I'd be her manager." WHAT? What in the world does that mean? "I'll color with her and play with her," he told me. Nice, huh? Of course he got the lecture about playing with your sister just because it's a nice- and the right thing to do. Kennady seemed to think she got a pretty good deal. BROTHERS!!!!!
